Martin and Pam found us on the web and travelled to Botswana, Namibia and Zambia on honeymoon
Hi Rob, Just to say thank you very much for creating us such a wonderful honeymoon! It was the perfect mix of environments – arriving in Jacana with the delta in flood was stunning – we loved going around by boat in the hippo highways and all the beautiful wildlife, flowers, birds and the mokoro. Selinda was awesome – amazing guiding and we were lucky enough to have some wild dogs and a hyena in front of the camp on day 1 and 2. Fantastic food too and lovely relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere and accommodation. We also found Ntwala stunning – supreme accommodation and the biggest bathroom I’ve ever seen! And being by the Zambezi – we loved it (you were right too – we ended up not going on that last game drive in the end in order to enjoy being on the river more). We saw lions chasing mongoose from the river in Chobe – great treat. We loved Siankaba too and the falls. Perfect!
Namibia
Pricing
Namibia is one of the few African destinations to really offer the full spectrum of prices, from cheap camping tours and modest self-drive options to hugely expensive private expeditions and luxury fly-in safaris. It is possible to see much of the country on a reasonable budget, but some of the more remote parts of Namibia can only be accessed by expensive air transfers, or on more specialist overland tours which tend to be more expensive too.
Typically, a tailor-made two week self-drive holiday, including economy flights from the UK, will start at around £2750.00 per person in low season, and rise to somewhere between £3500.00 and £5000.00 per person in the shoulder and high seasons. If you fly between destinations or choose very exclusive, upmarket properties or private safaris, then the price can easily be much higher. December to March is generally considered low season, April to June and November, shoulder, and July to October, high season.
We appreciate that going on safari in Africa is an expensive holiday, but we are always conscious of providing ‘value for money’. Our selection of properties for any itinerary is based entirely upon those which we feel will most closely match your requirements, whether that be budget driven or experience driven. It is sometimes very difficult to differentiate between a top-quality safari property, and one which offers a lesser experience. Accordingly, a safari which offers value for money should not necessarily be confused with a ‘cheap’ safari.
If you are planning your first safari, we suggest you look at our Planning a Safari section. We do not offer mainstream package tours (minibus tours), coastal package tours or cheap camping trips.
